    "content": " Order, hon. Senators! Sen. Murkomen has raised a point of order on the issue of whether we can proceed on the vote when the numbers may not be assured. If you recall, this is a matter that came up last week and we dealt with it on the basis of the scenario then. This is an issue which will keep coming up. We will dispose of it as it comes. This is an amendment. So, if we were to sustain, assuming the request by Sen. Murkomen is to defer – of course he has not even used the necessary Standing Order – but even if he did that, if we defer the amendment, what happens? It means we cannot even go back to the original Motion. Under the circumstances, we have to proceed for the roll call voting. Since Sen. Murkomen suggested that, maybe some of the other hon. Senators may have been delegated responsibility, then it will work. But even if it does not, the amendment will be lost. We can then proceed on the main Motion. In any case, the Motion is time bound. So, that is how I propose we should proceed."
